ASUS has a decent high end laptops and I have one. I am REALLY impressed. Thank you Bro for your awsome presentaion

[@razorgcy]

Bro, huge fan of your videos. But just a lil constructive criticism from me: you may want to test different devices at the same resolution just for the sake of doing an "apples to apples" comparison, but especially when I watch a gaming laptop review, I want to see what it can do at the native resolution of that specific device. On a handheld device it might not matter much due to the size of the display, but on a laptop, especially on a 1600p 16:10 laptop, I'd never EVER set it to a lower resolution, especially a 16:9 one like 1080p. Instead, I'd rather go down to the Balanced or Performance preset of DLSS, which actually reduces the render resolution to lower ones, but the output would still be at the native resolution of the display. Because of this I'd ALSO want to see how a device performs at its native resolution in addition to the lower resolutions you might prefer to test at. Keep it up 🙏💙

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

it doesnt look significant on laptop led, just lower reso if its smoother/more fps

This is what i find puzzling about laptop manufacturers. You made a Proart P13 with 4060, and put a 73whr battery in it Now you made a 14 inch gamer, but still put a 73whr battery in it. Why can't the 14inch one get like 85wh since there is a little bit more space compared to the P13. They will now make a 16" one and put 80wh battery, when even my 16 inch Lenovo with very hot i7 12700h and even hotter Arc370m has 100wh battery. Even the Zenbook s16 would have been a complete killer had it just come with 100wh. People will be getting up to 15hrs video playback on that laptop

[@ryancaspersen5284]

If the goal is playing "on the go" then get a handheld. I used to use laptops for gaming, but then I needed to have the power brick, controller and mouse with me. It wasn't ideal and got rather annoying. Went back to desktop with a handheld for on the go, and a thin and light if I needed a laptop for work when away from the house. When gaming your always going to be "confined" to one place and preferably near an outlet as gaming usually requires you stair at a screen and power last time I checked, so desktop is perfectly viable and if done right can and will be a better experience then gaming laptops. Nothing against laptops but they are limited and need to be plugged in sooner rather than later when gaming. And yes I understand some people need to have a powerful laptop because of their profession or hobby or perhaps it's what they prefer. It's your money so you get what you want. But from an objective stance a desktop is the more cost effective way to go.
